using Internet to set system Time

utukku · 10 February 2021, 17:34

Could someone tell me what's the best/easiest way to automatically set the system time using the internet?

Cheers

Maybe http://aminet.net/comm/misc/netclock.lha Some other programs do exist, too.

NTPSsync and Facts. Facts offers advanced settings and easy to setup. Ntpsync is simpler but does the job well. Ask me if you decide to go down that road since I use both

I use: http://aminet.net/package/comm/net/sntp

In my s:network-startup (RoadShow) I have:

Code:

sntp pool.ntp.org

I second that.

It works nicely with ScreenTime, too:

Thanks for all the options everyone :-) Going to go with the AmiTimeKeeper, mainly as it has been updated very recently.

Thread bump, but discovered that AmiTimeKeeper won't let Roadshow's NetShutDown command do it's thing! Just a heads up in case anyone is wondering why their WHDLoad games are suddenly not working anymore (as I did).

I've gone back to FACTS for now: http://aminet.net/package/comm/tcp/facts

Yeap. I confirm the above. Spoke to the writer about it a while ago, and he told me he would fix it in his next update. Also if you go offline for some reason, then when AmiTimeKeeper tries to check the time online then the system hangs and freezes and it needs a restart.

AmiTimeKeeper : I started using this. But my clock is always off by an hr.

Any suggestions as to why ?

Nevermind. I fixed this. I ran the installer. It sets the proper time zone.

Though that app Greg recommended, ScreenTime, hangs my system. I will examine this further when time permits.
